DC Comics announced Friday that the company will reboot the comic book series and make Alan Scott, aka the Green Lantern, young and gay.

He’s probably extremely well-groomed, likes electronic music but isn’t afraid to wear a non-ironic (he says) Johnny Cash T-shirt, and dabbles as a guest DJ at the club near his loft.

Well, that’s just a guess.

In his prior life, Green Lantern was married with two superhero kids. Now, in the second issue of “Earth 2” out next week, he’ll be an unmarried media mogul, according to TMZ. Reportedly, there are 7,200 members of the Green Lantern Corps in DC’s comic book world. So the chances are pretty good that there’s at least one unmarried media mogul who’s gay.

And, of course, the interest groups had to get their two cents in. One Million Moms released a statement saying, “Why do adult gay men need comic superheroes as role models? They don’t but do want to indoctrinate impressionable young minds by placing these gay characters on pedestals in a positive light.”

Maybe they just want to teach them to dress better.

In response, GLAAD told TMZ, “The idea that a comic book character will make young people gay is as outlandish as saying it will give them a green power ring and the ability to fly. Even more outlandish is the idea that there are ‘one million moms’ who believe this hate group’s anti-gay nonsense. From Christian churches to sports fields, to now even fictional comic book worlds, our culture overwhelmingly supports gay and lesbian Americans and that’s what anti-gay groups like this are working against.”

A transit village with apartments, retailers, restaurants and a hotel is rising in Milpitas next to The Great Mall, close to light rail and the under-construction BART station. It’s one of several Silicon Valley projects sprouting up near transit.
